Steiff Mr Vanilla Limited Edition Bear

***Limited Edition of 1,000***

Teddy bears in general, and Steiffs in particular, were all the rage in the USA in the early 1900s  thanks, in no small part, to the popularity of President Teddy Roosevelt.

The original Mr Vanilla was launched in 1906 to an already-enthusiastic audience and was subsequently auctioned as part of a famous American collection. Using original archived documents, Steiff have created this authentic replica. He is made of mohair, with shoe button eyes and wood wool stuffing - just as in the original - together with the finest felt paw pads which have been expertly airbrushed around the edges for an authentic aged appearance and, of course, a patinated steel button in his ear.

Limited to only 1,000 worldwide, with numbered certificate and gift box, he stands 14 tall.
